  Alaskan FJ40 Build Thread

  By Aussie Alaskan

  Greetings all. I picked up this 1973 FJ40 last night from a local in the interior of Alaska and will be chronicling the journey here. The plan is to keep it rough enough around the edges to be able to do a bit of off roading and exploring and not feel too bad about scratching the paint. Pertinent details: 1973 FJ40 with seized original 1F engine. Original Warn/Bellview winch 5687. Original winch bumper and interior controls. Sunvisors still in plastic wrap!! Everything on the dash looks... Read more

  Cruiser shop in Salt Lake City

  By Demonic92

  Hey all, I'm moving to SLC soon and I'm dreading the idea of finding a new mechanic shop I like. In WA state/Seattle, we have Torfab and there's a shop called Pacific Rim Auto that I really like. Does anybody have a good shop in SLC or surrounding area for an 80 series Land Cruiser? Sounds like Mark Miller Toyota is a safe option, but it's still a dealership... Also, for brake work, I've always taken my cars to a separate shop that specializes in brakes because it has always been cheaper... Read more

  Fuel pump question (1KZ)

  By Morrtac

  I purchased a new OEM fuel pump for my Prado. Inside the inlet port they are different... new one looks 'ported', old one looks free flowing. Anyone have any insight to this? (Part # is the same) Thank you.

  From The 2014 LS 460 to the 2020 G90 A Month Comparison

  By Miami 1967

  I've had a month or so to really take stock of the driving experience of the G90 vs my old LS 460, which is still in the family, as well as the old LS 430. I'll start with TECH: Spoiler: the G90 runs circles around LS in tech. To be fair, 6 years is a long time in tech years. HOWEVER.... For the same money (32K before tax tag and title) there is no comparison. Because 32K amonth ago would have only gotten me a 2017 LS 460 with relatively low miles. And that is the same exact car as... Read more

  FAULTY BACK UP SENSOR 2021 RAM 1500

  By baylazz

  My 2021 Ram 1500 has an overly sensitive back up sensor where it will slam on the brakes when I back into or out of my driveway. It has mostly been intermittent but it just did it three times while I was backing into my driveway and it’s not even like it’s a steep incline and I’m going very slowly about 1-3 mph. Anyone else experienced this? It would seem to be either a faulty sensor or software error. I’ve got 16K on the truck and I’m taking in to the dealer as a warranty problem. It slams... Read more

  steering shaft coupler play — excessive or normal?

  By petegangies

  Hi all, I'm about to replace the steering shaft dust seal and thought I'd give the shaft a wobble. Would you consider this normal or excessive? If excessive, what can I replace? The flexible coupler ? What about the bush on the main shaft? Cheers Pete

  Hey all, Lurker for awhile here with a 2014 LX. She was involved in a minor fender bender and I decided I wanted to fix it myself as it did not seem too bad in my book.

The replacement millimeter wave sensor PN 88210-60090 (Confirmed from old part.) does not seem to line up. It was a used sensor so... Read more
